Please check the size chart has printed out to the correct size by measuring the scale at the bottom of the chart, this must measure 10cm otherwise the indicated size may not be accurate.
Please fold the paper along the dotted line and place the chart on a hard surface against an immovable vertical surface such as a skirting board to help gain an accurate measure.
Place the left foot on the chart and record the length of the foot (e.g. 2¼) repeat for the right foot (e.g. 2½).
Based on these results a size 3 would be selected. As most people's feet are not the same size the size of shoe is determined by the largest foot.
Children will also need some growing room so if the fitting indicates either foot is longer than the full size it may be beneficial to order the next size up.

26.02.2013 - Investors freeze deals amid political instability in Bulgaria |
The industrial property market in Bulgaria appears to be the hardest hit by the snap resignation of PM Boyko Borissovs government and the following economic uncertainty in the country. Foreign investors have eyed a few well-functioning ventures on the Bulgarian market over the past few month and real estate agents across the country expected many Greek companies to more their business to Bulgaria, because of the unstable financial situation in their country. Foreign investors have also inquired about a number of Bulgarian car parts manufacturers and producers of construction materials...............................................Full Article: Source |

IFC buys North American rights for UK horror 'Spiderhole'
News out of Berlin today as IFC acquired the North American rights for the small budget horror flick out of the UK Spiderhole from Canuck outfit Raven Banner Entertainment.
Spiderhole is the feature debut from writer/director Daniel Simpson. Having seen the film already I wouldn't say that the writing was particularly strong. The story plays by the rules for the most part and a lot of it will feel familiar to seasoned horror viewers. However, Daniel Simpson's eye behind the camera is definitely his stronger suit. Together with his cinematographer Vinit Borrison and production designer Daithi Magner they have created a film that is rather lovely to look at. I understand if that may not particularly sell it to you but it also clocks in at a slim 82 minutes so it does not demand so much of your precious time.They say squatting is dead - a term that takes on a sinister double meaning when four homeless art students decide to take up residence in an abandoned London House where a hidden terror lurks.
You will find trailers after the break...

i'm with this guy.
Kev, as for my gut, after the new turbo (S400SX 67mm billet) you may or may not need to push the "+" button once in awhile for the upper range
but, over on this coast, we doubled the core size on the AWIC, >double the pump ability, changed the intake manifold, increased the turbo (82lb/min before now 94lb/min), and gonna finally get the Lugnuts-tuned dog-box in the car. we ARE SHOOTING for some real numbers finally, if i can drive this thing worth a sh!t. the driver is the weak link, here.

Or the lazy parents who'd rather put toxic faux-food in their kid's bodies than fix some real food. And no, Hamburger Helper is not real food! A Happy Meal served by a creepy clown with red hair may taste great and have a nice toy. But do you really want to be the reason your child loses 10-30 years of their lifespan? It adds up, and it becomes a normal eating pattern. Real food can taste just as good and have none of the side effects. Why not put some thought into what you eat for once?

Best (head) gasket scraper?
Hello all
As a matter of preference, in everyone's opinion - what is the best gasket scraper? Especially when it comes to dealing with scraping off the pesky graphite residue of an old head gasket stuck on the block or cylinder head? I am mostly curios of what others are using to scrape off the head gasket remains from the block. As far as the heads go, i personally always send the heads to get checked by a machine shop, and have them cleaned and cut before they get set atop of new head gaskets. I've used razor blades at various angles against the deck, scotch-brite pads, and even plastic ice scrapers (so i dont gouge the block). What are you guys using?
Sponsored Links | |||
Sharpen the end of a flat file. It works great. Files are stiff and won't bend like putty knives.
I use 2 things, a putty knife and a honing stone.
I take the putty knife and shorten the blade to about 1 1/4 in long, then put a sharp edge on it, Works great. After scraping, I take a dual grit hone stone and some WD40 and stone the surface. Any remaining gasket pieces show up real quick. Once the surface is truly clean it will take on a nice sheen. That is all it takes to be ready for a new gasket. http://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/No...ne-P179C5.aspx http://www.reddevil.com/index.php?l=..._detail&p=1206 |

text: CONSOLEHELPER(8) CONSOLEHELPER(8) NAME consolehelper - A wrapper that helps console users run system programs SYNOPSIS progname [ options ] DESCRIPTION consolehelper is a tool that makes it easy for console users to run system programs, doing authentication via PAM (which can be set up to trust all console users or to ask for a password at the system administrator's discretion). When possible, the authentication is done graphically; otherwise, it is done within the text console from which consolehelper was started. It is intended to be completely transparent. This means that the user will never run the consolehelper program directly. Instead, programs like /sbin/shutdown are paired with a link from /usr/bin/shutdown to /usr/bin/con- solehelper. Then when non-root users (specifically, users without /sbin in their path, or /sbin after /usr/bin) call the "shutdown" program, consolehelper will be invoked to authenticate the action and then invoke /sbin/shutdown. (consolehelper itself has no priviledges; it calls the userhelper(8) program do the real work.) consolehelper requires that a PAM configuration for every managed program exist. So to make /sbin/foo or /usr/sbin/foo managed, you need to create a link from /usr/bin/foo to /usr/bin/consolehelper and create the file /etc/pam.d/foo, normally using the pam_console(8) PAM mod- ule. OPTIONS This program has no command line options of its own; it passes all command line options on to the program it is calling. SEE ALSO userhelper(8) BUGS No known bugs. Report any you find at http://devel- oper.redhat.com/ at the BugTrack link. AUTHOR Michael K. Johnson <email@example.com> Red Hat Software 18 March 1999 1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pseudo)
Look up pseudo- or ψευδής in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. |
For the novel with the original title Pseudo, see Hocus Bogus.
The prefix pseudo- (from Greek ψευδής, pseudes, "lying, false") is used to mark something that superficially appears to be (or behaves like) one thing, but actually is another. Subject to context, pseudo may connote coincidence, imitation, intentional deception, or a combination thereof.
- In biology and botany, the prefix 'pseudo' is used to indicate a species with a coincidental visual similarity to another genus. For example, Iris pseudacorus is known as 'pseudacorus' for having leaves similar to those of Acorus calamus. In biology, coincidental similarity is not the same as mimicry.
- In literary studies, the prefix 'pseudo-' is used to indicate false attribution of authorship. For example, Pseudo-Aristotle is the name given to persons who falsely wrote under the name of Aristotle to give their own ideas greater credibility. The false ascription of authorship is called pseudepigraphy, and the works themselves are called pseudepigrapha. The 'pseudo-' prefix is not used for pseudonyms, false name used to hide one's true identity.
- In linguistics, the prefix 'pseudo-' is also applied to certain categories of loanwords in which words are used in a way that does not coincide with the way the word is used in the original language. For example, the English word handy has been adopted in colloquial German as the term for a mobile/cell phone. This is known as a pseudo-anglicism.
- In historiography, the prefix 'pseudo' is also applied to imposters or false claimants to a throne, for example Pseudo-Nero.
- In pharmacology, the 'pseudo' prefix is also used to identify an alternate form of a pharmacological compound. For example, pseudoephedrine.
- In the study of art, the 'pseudo' prefix is applied to an imitation of the artistic style of a different cultural background (in contradistinction to neo-, the imitation of a style of an earlier epoch). For example, Pseudo-Kufic, Pseudo-Cyrillic, Pseudo-Chalcidian, pseudo-naïve.
- In geology and geography, the 'pseudo' prefix is also used for topographical formations that superficially appear to have been formed by one process, but actually were formed by another. For example, pseudo-atoll.
- In mathematics, the 'pseudo' prefix is also applied to items that are similar to (or mathematically behave like) something else, but not exactly that. For example, pseudo-arcs, pseudorandomness, pseudoprime.

Teenage athletics star Dan Slater is going from strength to strength.
The U15 Liverpool Pembroke Sefton runner was at Bedford for the England Championships, for many an intimidating prospect.
He had experienced a succession of outstanding performances at 1500m but here he was doubling the distance, stepping up to 3000m.
With a highly successful triathlon background, including a recent second spot in an Inter-Area match representing England, this was a distance he was comfortable with.
A somewhat crowded field of 22 runners did not deter him and he immediately settled into the lead.
When the burst came, Dan was ready and was able to match everybody but the talented Wrexham athlete Matthew Willis who got home ahead of him in 9:08.40 to Dan's 9:10.18.
Nevertheless, a superb silver medal with the added bonus of a new club record shattering by 15 seconds a time that had stood since 1977.
Another fine tribute to the collaboration forged with his coach, John McCarten.
Also at Bedford, U17 Morgan Greaves-Thomas dipped out in the semi-final of the 200m but had recorded a terrific 22.72 in the heats.
The end of the track and field season witnesses athletes trying to go out in a blaze of glory at open meetings.
The Mid-Lancs League medals meeting at Blackpool attracted a number of these aspirants.
Once again, coach Dave McComb's high jumpers were prolific.
Picking up gold were Senior Billy Williams (1.81m), U15 Kai Finch (1.63m) a week after a splendid 1.65m, U13 Owen Southern (1.50m) and U15 Jade Murphy (1.60m).
A silver medal went to U13 Sadie McNulty (1.35m) and a bronze to U15 Lily McGuire (1.40m).
For the sprinters, U17 Ed Latimer took 200m (23.4) and 400m (51.8) gold together with a silver at 100m (11.5).
Ethan Prothero (U13) also was dominant in the 100m with 12.5 while U15 Robert Ward collected a double bronze with 100m (12.3) and 200m (25.8).
There were firsts for long jumper Erin Birchall (U13) on 4.33m and senior triple jumper Dominic O'Hanlon (11.04m) plus second in the long jump (5.43m) while Matt Low (U17) pocketed a silver in the long jump (10.03) and Evelyn Smalley (U17) a third, also in the long of 4.33m.
Evergreen Dave Brown went home with two silvers in the discus (31.20m) and javelin (39.10m).

Recovering in RI
Where the state legis has reversed that law we discussed recently putting 17-year-olds into adult prisons believing it would save money but, surprise, it didn't. No word of whether the gov will sign and, amazingly, no retroactivity so that the ones who've been sent away for the last four months will be removed from adult custody. It's like they couldn't let "smart" completely happen, you know?

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hey you font-gurus...
Im was just wondering what fonts you "dig" these days. I mean those really usefull ones. I'm tired of seeing DIN font everywhere I look, even thought its so beautiful. I would love to hear your idea for the next DIN font...?
What do you think?
I've been drooling over Underware's Sauna and Dolly. They are so playful and well done, I love 'em. As for the next DIN, who knows, Amplitude by Mr. Schwartz?
Drooling over fonts is one thing, but have you bought licenses and started to use them?
i dunno about you, james, but i'd be flat broke if i bought every font that i've drooled over the past year!
Since I'm not in the business of using other designers typefaces, I rarely look at, let alone drool over them.
isn't that hypocritcal, then, to encourage others to use yours? you should encourage them to build their own to drool over, doncha think?
By all means, build your own. If I can offer any advise on the matter please let me know. I just think there is an awful lot of "talk" about type on this forum, I just want everyone to not only talk about it, but license it, use it, and by all means create it yourself.
In fact if everyone was busy creating their own fonts, they would have scant time to spend discussing what to drool over.
I haven't bought them, no. That's only because I haven't had a job that could use them. I just enjoy studying type that has been designed well. It helps me further my type design skills in general.
If you go to my website, you'll see that I'm working on plenty of new fonts and have even more on my computer that may never see the light of day.
I just enjoy talking type, that's all.
Same here - communication is human. And I don't think Typophile's content is just idle banter. Plus I start wondering why James is here. I hope he doesn't just leave one day, but if he sticks around I hope it will be mostly to communicate. Drool or dry.
i apologize for my previous rudeness, james. i just thought that the purpose of typophile was for fellow aficionado/as to come together and discuss whatever aspect of type is on his/her mind. personally, i wish i could get my corp to purchase Miller Daily for use in our news publication, but they're tight, so i hafta be content with drooling. i guess i COULD design my own newspaper face, but i doubt it'd be an improvement over times even. but it's good to know i can consider you as a resource, i'll keep that in mind if i ever turn the talk into action.
I see no rudeness. I was only trying to encourage you to act on your drooling and license the fonts you desired. I do understand the limitations of budgets, but font software is such a relatively inexpensive item in the scheme of business expenses... I guess its seeing too much of the same boring type around the city everyday that makes me a little cranky.
In Europe, perhaps Helvetica Ultra Ultra Ultra Light as in Orange ads. Like on some examples here: http://www.orange.com/English/orangeinbusiness/campaigns.asp
Must be a typeface widely available.
I personally like it simple. DIN is okay, but it is enough of DIN on the streets here in Germany. My recent clients were happy enough with Stone Sans offered to be their corporate type. My favs are Stone, Legacy, Ocean, Scala, Seria and Thesis. And I hope these kind of typefaces will get there credit some time soon.
As for "next DIN" - and I might be too late for this - but Gill Sans is quite popular these days. Way too popular, I think. I've written about it in Russian @ru_typography, but there are links to scans, so you might see what I mean. Gill is really everywhere here. I've been reading an article right now, set in Gill. A german article. And there is a spare room to rent across the street and guess what

Campus Climate Assessment & Improvements
Assessing and improving the campus climate for diversity is an ongoing, campus-wide effort. Below, we outline a few large-scale initiatives both through our office and the larger University.
Campus Climate Surveys
In 2005, the Center for Multicultural Excellence, with many campus partners, conducted a campus-wide survey of perceptions and experience of students, staff, faculty and administrators around issues of diversity. A copy of the 2005 final report is available here (PDF).
To continue our assessment of the campus climate, the 2012 Inclusive Excellence Assessment was distributed to learn about the experiences of all students, faculty, and staff during winter term 2012. In total, 3747 participants responded.
An extensive analysis process was conducted through the following year; and the associate provost for Inclusive Excellence, Dr Frank Tuitt, presented the initial results to the campus on 11 June 2013. A copy that presentation is available here (PDF), with additional analysis and resulting actions to continue as noted.
For information on the survey process, contact Johanna Leyba, Assistant Provost for Campus & Community Partnerships.
Based in part on this information, the University has taken several new steps:
Campus Climate for Students Working Group
In fall 2013, the Associate Provost for Inclusive Excellence invited a group of faculty and staff from across the University to participate on a working group on campus climate for students to accomplish the following:
- Provide a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of historically underrepresented students at DU as it relates to campus climate, culture, retention, and overall success;
- Provide a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities our campus partners with high student contact encounter in their efforts to create an inclusive and affirming campus experience for historically underrepresented students at DU; and
- Generate a report that includes detailed recommendations and actionable items for addressing challenges and opportunities for increasing the overall success of students from historically underrepresented communities at DU.
This 20 member working group is chaired by Art Jones (Colorado Women's College), Niki Latino (Student Life), and Molly Hooker (Graduate Studies), and is supported by a research team directed by Lisa Martinez (AHSS) and Sam Museus (MCE).
A preliminary report is scheduled to be available on February 1, 2015, with a final report completed by the end of spring quarter 2015.
Status faculty and staff women
status of faculty and staff members of color
The University commissioned the Ibis Consulting Group to one to assess and provide suggestions for improving the experiences of these two and overlapping historically underrepresented employee communities. A series of focus groups and interviews were completed in January 2014; and all benefited faculty and staff have been invited to add important feedback through a confidential online survey in March.
In the summer of 2014, the working groups released their findings and recommendations, accessible by affiliates via DU Portfolio login.

Canon EOS 1100D/Canon EOS Rebel T3
Price: AU$420 with 18-55mm IS II kit lens
Key spec: 12.2Mp APS-C format CMOS sensor, 720p video, 9 AF points (1 cross-type), max shooting rate 3fps, 2.7-inch 230,000-dot LCD
The Canon 1100D hit the headlines when it was originally launched, some three years ago, bringing relatively exotic features to the entry-level sector of the market. It is still available as the most inexpensive route into Canon SLR photography but, in some ways, is starting to show its age.
Its 12.2Mp image resolution is outclassed by all other current models, which have at least 18Mp resolution. Similarly, while it features a video capture capability, it's only 720p instead of the full 1080p sported by all other cameras in the range. Both of these issues are addressed by the new entry-level 1200D which are waiting to review in full.
On the plus side, the 1100D boasts a smart iFCL (intelligent Focus Colour Luminance) metering system that was originally introduced in the 7D camera. Also, like the 100D and 700D, there's a 9-point autofocus module with a cross-type sensor at the centre. This gives greater accuracy by resolving detail in both horizontal and vertical planes.
Again though, the 1100D doesn't quite match the later 100D and 700D, as the central AF point doesn't have a high-sensitivity capability for increased performance with wide-aperture lenses (f/2.8 or wider). There's more bad news around the back, where the LCD is a bit on the small side at 2.7 inches, and has a relatively low resolution of just 230k pixels. Most other beginners' cameras typically have a larger 3.0-inch screen with a 1040k resolution, as well as offering touchscreen operation which is lacking on the 1100D.
Another omission is that there's no mirror lockup custom function, so mirror-bounce can be a problem when trying to get sharp, tripod-mounted shots, especially when using macro or long telephoto lenses. Overall, the 1100D is a simple camera that's easy to use. It's also £110 cheaper than the 1200D, making it pretty good value if you can get by without the newer camera's greater resolution and updated features.
Remarkably inexpensive to buy and very beginner-friendly.
It's a bit of a poor relation in terms of specifications.
Read our full Canon EOS 1100D/Canon EOS Rebel T3 review
Canon EOS 100D/Canon EOS SL1
Price: AU$700 body only
Key spec: 18.0Mp APS-C format CMOS sensor, 1080p video, 9 AF points (1 cross-type), max shooting rate 4fps, 3-inch 1,040,000-dot touch-sensitive LCD
An exercise in downsizing, the 100D is the most compact and lightweight D-SLR that Canon has ever made, yet still features plenty of upscaled attractions, especially compared with the older 1100D. It has a higher-resolution 18Mp image sensor and a bigger, more detailed 3-inch 1040k LCD that adds touchscreen operation. The DIGIC 5 image processor is also a generation newer.
Continuous shooting has a maximum speed of 4fps (frames per second) in both JPEG or raw quality mode, whereas the 1100D drops from 3fps to just 2fps when you switch from JPEG to raw. Video capture resolution is also boosted to 1080p. Better still, the redesigned image sensor uses a selection of its photosites (which equate to pixels) to enable phase-detection autofocus, making continuous autofocus possible when shooting video. Stills and video resolution aside, the 100D also beats the new 1200D in all the specifications and features we've mentioned so far.
Another beginner-friendly advantage is the Scene Intelligent Auto shooting mode, as featured on similarly recent cameras including the Canon EOS M, 700D and 70D. A step up over the older and more basic 'green square' full auto mode, it analyses scenes as you're composing shots, not only checking brightness, contrast and colour, but also detecting faces and watching out for movement. It really helps to give consistently great results in simple point-and-shoot photography. There are plentiful scene modes too, that go far beyond the basic sports, portrait and close-up modes. These are available via a dedicated 'Scn' position on the main shooting mode dial, delivering further options like Kids, Food and Candlelight.
Naturally, you can adjust all shooting parameters in the more advanced 'creative zone' of the shooting dial that includes the usual P, Av, Tv and M options. The cherry on the cake is a big boost in sensitivity range. Compared with the 1100D's ISO 100-6400, the 100D stretches to ISO 12800 in its standard range, and all the way to ISO 25600 in expanded mode, again beating the newer 1200D.
Very compact for a D-SLR, good touchscreen, versatile scene modes.
Relatively few direct access controls, body can feel a bit cramped if you have big hands.

Product description
Widely acknowledged as the most authoritative Victorian study of ancient Greece, George Grote's twelve-volume work, begun in 1846, established the view of Greek history which still prevails in textbooks and popular accounts of the ancient world today. Grote employs direct and clear language to take the reader from the earliest times of legendary Greece to the death of Alexander and his generation, drawing upon epic poetry and legend, and examining the growth and decline of the Athenian democracy. The work explains Greek political constitutions and philosophy, and interwoven throughout are the important but outlying adventures of the Sicilian and Italian Greeks. Volume 1 focuses on the legendary Greece, the times of epic poetry and legend, and explains how what we read today as myth was once, as Grote describes it, 'accredited history which the first Greeks could conceive or relish of their past time'.

Market Research
In their pathbreaking 1994 work, The Social Organization of Sexuality, Dr. Edward Laumann and his colleagues establish the case for defining homosexuality along three distinct dimensions: identity (how individuals self-label their sexual orientation), same-sex desire, and same-sex behavior. Many other studies, especially those conducted by professionals in the field of public health and social science, narrowly defined homosexuality in terms of whether an individual engages in same-sex sexual behavior. However, for the purpose of establishing the parameters of the gay and lesbian population in toto, this approach may be inappropriately narrow because it does not take into account the other aspects of sexual orientation that Laumann attempted to capture. There are at least two other ways to define a sexual orientation that is other than heterosexual apart from same-sex intimate behavior. One is sexual and emotional attraction to members of the same sex, and the other is self-identification to oneself and to others as lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Defining sexual orientation exclusively in terms of behavior does not take into account the fact that individuals may self-identify as gay or lesbian and not be sexually active. Neither does it acknowledge the fact that some individuals engage in same-sex sexual behavior but do not self-identify as gay or lesbian. In their attempt to capture a national sample, Laumann and his colleagues posed essential questions about same-sex behaviors, partners, identity, appeal, and attraction. Survey subjects were given face-to-face interviews, conducted privately and in confidence; however, for a majority of the subjects, the questions about sexual behavior, desire, and identity were submitted in writing and asked in a self-administered questionnaire only at the very end of the interview. The interviewers, for the most part, never saw the answers because the private questionnaire was placed in an envelope and sealed by the respondent before being handed back. In terms of same-sex behavior, this study determined that slightly more than 4% of women sampled, and nearly 9% of men sampled, reported that, since puberty, they had had sexual activity of some kind with same-gender partners. For market researchers, of course, more relevant than gauging and investigating sexual behavior is the question of sexual identity and self-awareness. If you wish to speak persuasively to a gay consumer, very often the single most important question to ask is whether the individual self-identifies as gay and what media and market channels are most influential with this individual. The Enigmatic Nature of Sexual Orientation Another important dimension of sexual orientation is the fact that, unlike visible racial characteristics or ethnic traits, sexual orientation is not an attribute that can be tracked or detected at birth or at an early age. Moreover, for some individuals, sexual orientation does not appear to be entirely fixed but instead may be a more evolutionary characteristic that challenges our deepest understanding of the roles played by genetics and the environment. Sexual maturity and awareness awakens at different times for different individuals. Another challenge with tracking individuals based on their sexual orientation has to do with the nature of sexuality itself. Is being gay or lesbian simply being attracted to a member of the same sex? Or is does it require individuals to actually have sexual relations with members of their own sex? Does it include people who only sometimes have sex with members of their own sex? Laumann's research indicates that the proportion of individuals--whether male or female--who express same-sex attraction or participate in same-sex behaviors is greater than the proportion who are willing to self-identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Research also shows that self-description--i.e., identifying openly as gay, lesbian, or bisexual-- remains a very complex process influenced by innate and environmental aspects. For some, particularly males, the process of identifying as gay, or "coming out," appears to occur now at younger ages than it did in the past, while for other men and women, the process may not unfold until mid-life, if at all. These observations ought to be qualified in light of the fact that our culture is shifting in a number of seismic ways. In the future, with increased visibility of glbtq individuals and characteristics, the attitudes of children and adults toward homosexuality may well change and that may lead to a greater willingness to self-identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. There is some anecdotal evidence that this shift may already be underway, with adolescent girls and boys identifying as bisexual and lesbian or gay and choosing to attend high school proms as lesbian or gay couples.

Topic: Secretary General
Let Us Not Praise Pro-Terrorist Newspapers
As Alana noted this morning, Jeffrey Feltman, the former U.S. ambassador to Lebanon, wrote a devastating letter to the New York Times, expressing his irritation with a piece it ran praising the pro-Hezbollah Al-Akhbar newspaper as, among other things, dynamic and daring. "Al Akhbar is less maverick and far less heroic than your article suggests," Feltman writes. "Al Akhbar will no more criticize Hezbollah's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, than Syria's state-run Tishreen newspaper would question the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad."
Al Akhbar is a totalitarian propaganda sheet and, like all such organs of disinformation, routinely publishes fiction as well as news and analysis. "The hilariously erroneous accounts of my activities reported as fact in [the] newspaper provoked morning belly laughs," Feltman added.
I wish I could say it's bizarre that a vastly superior and more professional newspaper such as the New York Times would find anything at all nice to say about a crude rag in a semi-democratic country that actually does have decent newspapers, but this is typical of a scandalously large percentage of Western reporters who parachute into or set up shop in Beirut.
Here is Feltman again: "One of the curiosities I discovered as ambassador to Lebanon was the number of Western journalists, academics and nongovernmental representatives who, while enjoying the fine wines and nightlife of Beirut, romanticized Hezbollah and its associates like Al Akhbar as somehow the authentic voices of the oppressed Lebanese masses. Yet, I don't think that many of those Western liberals would wish to live in a state dominated by an unaccountable clerical militia and with Al Akhbar providing the news."
The New York Times is usually better than this. Eli Khoury, one of the founders of the Lebanon Renaissance Foundation and publisher of the news website NOW Lebanon, once made a trip to the offices of the New York Times editorial board after they published some obnoxious articles about Lebanon's pro-democracy movement.
"I said, 'Listen guys,'" Khoury told me. "'Lebanon is a country that didn't need the help of the U.S. Army. You guys didn't have to bomb our country. We're talking about a bunch of grassroots democrats who went into the streets and seized their own thing with their own hands. And they expect democrats in the rest of the world to support them.' Since then the New York Times has not done one single bad story about Lebanon."
Maybe he needs to go back.
Morning Commentary
Concern is growing over China's advancing military capabilities. As Secretary of Defense Robert Gates met with civilian leaders in Beijing today, Chinese bloggers and news agencies produced photos that appear to show the country's new stealth fighter taking its first test flight: "That message undercuts the symbolism of Mr. Gates' visit, which is designed to smooth military relations ahead of a state visit to the U.S. next week by Chinese President Hu Jintao."
The insta-politicization of the Arizona shooting — by both Twitter activists and serious political leaders — is just another example of why Americans are becoming increasingly fed up with both the Republican and Democratic parties, writes Reason's Nick Gillespie: "How do you take one of the most shocking and revolting murder sprees in memory and make it even more disturbing? By immediately pouncing on its supposed root causes for the most transparently partisan of gains."
Foreign Policy's Josh Rogin outlines the possible replacements for the top positions on Obama's foreign-policy team in 2011. The most likely candidates to replace Defense Secretary Robert Gates — who is expected to step down after early next spring — are John Hamre, president of the Center for Strategic and International Studies; Michele Flourney, Gates's current undersecretary for policy; and CIA chief Leon Panetta.
The IDF is fighting back at criticism over its use of tear gas at an anti-Israel protest in Bil'in, by launching a YouTube campaign showing demonstrators throwing rocks and attempting to tear down fences at the same rally.
A former ambassador to Lebanon responds to the New York Times's shameful fluff story about a radical Lebanese, Hezbollah-praising newspaper: "Sadly, Al Akhbar is less maverick and far less heroic than your article suggests. Al Akhbar will no more criticize Hezbollah's secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, than Syria's state-run Tishreen newspaper would question the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad."
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the chair of the Pakistan ruling party and son of the late Benazir Bhutto, has vowed to keep fighting the country's blasphemy laws after the assassination of Salman Taseer: "'To the Christian and other minority communities in Pakistan, we will defend you,' he said at a memorial ceremony in London for Salman Taseer, the governor of Punjab province who was killed by his own security guard last week. 'Those who wish to harm you for a crime you did not commit will have to go through me first.'"
Hezbollah Threatens to Take Over Lebanon
Almost everyone thought that the Syrian government assassinated former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri in central Beirut in 2005, but most evidence now points to Hezbollah. An investigation just published by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation comes to that conclusion. The United Nations Special Tribunal for Lebanon is widely expected to soon hand down an indictment against Hezbollah officials, and Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is saying he may launch a coup d'etat or a putsch against Lebanon's government if it happens. "Our options," he said, "are anywhere between doing nothing and causing a major political change."
Of course that doesn't necessarily mean that Assad's regime in Damascus is off the hook. Hezbollah is a Syrian and Iranian proxy militia, after all. Both Damascus and Tehran could be considered at least indirectly responsible, if not directly responsible, if it turns out that Hezbollah is, in fact, guilty. And if Nasrallah makes good on his threat and takes over Lebanon on behalf of his foreign masters, the temperature in the Middle East will rise dramatically. Israelis will no doubt be alarmed, as will the governments of Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, and the Arab states in the Gulf.
I do not, however, expect Hezbollah will ever conquer and rule the whole country as Hamas does in Gaza. Hezbollah is the most powerful military force in Lebanon by a long shot, but it's a sectarian Shia militia and is not likely powerful enough to rule hostile Christian, Sunni, and Druze regions.
The Lebanese army is neither powerful nor cohesive enough to disarm Hezbollah by force. It would surely mean war if it tried, and Hezbollah would quickly and decisively win a defensive conflict. That does not, however, mean that Hezbollah can win an offensive war in hostile cities and neighborhoods. Sure, Nasrallah could topple Lebanon's government easily enough, but then what? He won the short civil war in 2008 when his men took over the western half of the capital, but he did not stick around to govern that area. Hezbollah is a guerrilla and terrorist army, not an occupation force. Counterinsurgency is hardly in its skill set.
If Nasrallah tries to make himself the dictator of Lebanon, he'll probably learn the hard way what Americans learned in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even when regime change is easy, the aftermath is ferocious.
There's a reason Lebanon's Christians, Sunnis, and Druze haven't fielded their own militias to stand against Hezbollah. The lesson they learned from the 1975-1990 civil war was perhaps best summed up by former president Amin Gemayel: "Everyone is against everyone else, and it all keeps going around and around in circles without anyone ever winning or anything being accomplished." But who knows, maybe I'm wrong. Hezbollah may well be all but unstoppable. Nasrallah talks as though his men are all but unstoppable, and he might even believe it.
It has been a long time since Israel has fought a war against a foreign government rather than against non-state terrorist organizations, but if my analysis here is wrong, if Hezbollah does in fact take over the country, war between Middle Eastern nation-states will likely resume. The next war between Israel and Hezbollah would be a war between Israel and the Lebanese government by definition, and it could happen even if the majority of Israelis and Lebanese would rather it didn't.
NATO Considering Peacekeeping Force in Middle East
Speaking at a press conference in Lisbon during NATO's summit, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen announced that the alliance is prepared to consider sending a peacekeeping force to enforce an agreement between Israelis and Palestinians. Now, that is both very commendable and easy to say. Commendable, because it is a real commitment to invest resources to make a peace deal succeed; easy, because the likelihood of a peace deal is very remote.
Still, for skeptics, take a look at a paper produced by Florence Gaub, a scholar attached to the NATO Defence College in Rome. According to Gaub:
Independently from local security forces, the NATO force in Palestine … would, if it follows the example of the successful cases of Bosnia and Kosovo, need forces ranging from 43,700 to 76,000 men, including the police forces. Of these, between 16,100 and 28,000 would patrol Gaza, and between 27,600 and 48,000 the West Bank.
Gaub gives a long and detailed explanation as to how she gets to that number — an explanation that is worth reading because it is based on sound number-crunching from previous experiences of peacekeeping. She also confronts the unpleasant scenarios that putting boots on such ground would result in.
But quite aside from her assessment (which leads her to conclude that "NATO's mission in Palestine would have slim chances of success and a high probability of failure"), what are the chances that NATO countries that found it hard to contribute an additional few thousand men to Afghanistan would give 76,000 for Palestine?
NATO Going Cold Turkey
More evidence that NATO is in trouble has come alive as the alliance prepares for its summit this weekend. As reported in several news sources, Turkey has gotten its way, and NATO officialdom will make no mention of Iran as a missile threat so as not to complicate things for NATO's only Islamist member. The whole thing is, of course, a farce. NATO secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen (who, as Danish prime minister during the cartoon affair, has already had a flavor of Turkish tolerance), has confirmed that NATO's new strategic concept, due to be released at the summit, will not name Iran as a particular threat. Pressed by journalists, NATO spokesman James Appathurai was quoted as saying that "[t]here are at least 30 countries, more than 30 countries, acquiring, that have or are acquiring ballistic missile capability," he replied. "So this is not just about one country. It's about a growing and, in essence, generic potential threat to our territory."
Now, we will not argue with the fact that NATO's readiness to embrace missile defense may be more than just about Iran — after all, Syria and Libya have missiles (Libya actually shot missiles once at a NATO ally — Italy — in 1986, in lame retaliation for the U.S. raid over Tripoli). If Pakistan ever fell into the wrong hands, there would be even more reason to worry. And North Korea may one day have ICBMs to threaten NATO countries (it already threatens NATO allies and partners).
But why not point out Iran, given that Libya has renounced its nuclear program and Syria is an Iran proxy whose nuclear program benefited from Iranian and North Korean support? And the 30-country myth is especially silly — as it includes countries too far away to threaten NATO countries, friendly countries, NATO members, countries with obsolete missile programs, and then, well, and then Iran.
If missile defense is to be an essential component of NATO's new doctrine of nuclear deterrence in a world populated in the future by rogue states with ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons, then it would be desirable to recall that another essential element of any deterrence doctrine is some kind of declaratory policy. If all we get from NATO is denial for Turkey's appeasement's sake, the credibility of NATO's deterrence is harmed.
Which all comes down to a simple matter — why is Turkey still a member of the alliance?
The Un-Peace Talks
It would be bad enough if these talks were merely unproductive. But five people (I refuse to adopt the Obami's counting system, which denies the death of the pregnant woman's child) have died at the hands of terrorists. Should the talks break down (a strong possibility if Israel does not knuckle under to the demand for the settlement-moratorium extension), the potential for widespread violence is great. Neither in the short or long term do the peace talks offer a realistic chance for peace; quite the opposite.
Meanwhile, efforts to delegitimize Israel continue apace in international bodies. As Eli Lake reports, Israel is bracing for "Black September":
To start, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expected to release a report on the Memorial Day flotilla incident in which nine pro-Palestinian activists aboard a Turkish aid ship seeking to break a blockade of Gaza were killed in a battle with Israeli commandos. Activists in Lebanon have said they are trying to launch another flotilla to challenge the Gaza sea embargo in the coming weeks.
Then the Geneva-based U.N. Human Rights Council is expected to issue a follow-up on a report issued in 2009 by Judge Richard Goldstone regarding the Gaza war in late 2008 and early 2009. . . On top of all of this, Turkey — whose foreign minister said Israel's raid on the aid flotilla last spring was his country's Sept. 11 — takes its spot as the rotating chairman of the United Nations Security Council.
At the International Atomic Energy Agency later in September, Arab states are expected to press their case for Israel to publicly acknowledge its undeclared nuclear arsenal.
The peace talks afford Obama personally something, but what is Israel getting out of this? Precious little. And meanwhile, the centrifuges are whirling in Tehran.
Hezbollah Can't Pin Hariri Murder on Israel
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is now officially blaming Israel for assassinating former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri in downtown Beirut on Valentine's Day in 2005. I doubt he will convince many people.
I've been working in Lebanon on and off for years, and I've never once met a single person who thought Israel murdered Hariri. Not even the Hezbollah officials I spoke to before they blacklisted me thought so. Once in a while I met a Hezbollah supporter who said he didn't know who killed Hariri and silently left open the possibility that Israel might have done it, but that's the furthest even any of them were willing to go.
Hariri was one of the least anti-Israel Arab leaders on earth. His vision for Lebanon was one of peace and prosperity, not terrorism and war. Jerusalem had no reason at all to want him out of the picture. The Syrian- and Iranian-led Resistance Bloc, on the other hand, needed him out of the way, dead, or at least suppressed.
Almost everyone in Lebanon assumed from the very beginning that the Assad regime in Damascus ordered the hit, which is why Syria's military occupation was terminated almost at once by a tremendous wave of multi-sectarian wrath. Most people, including me, didn't entertain the idea for long that Hezbollah might be responsible, not because Hezbollah wouldn't or couldn't have done it, but because Syria had the greater of motives.
Speculation is now mounting, however, that the United Nations Special Tribunal for Lebanon is about to name Mustafa Badr al-Din, a senior Hezbollah commander, as the chief suspect. We'll have to wait and see if that's actually true, but it will be explosive news if it is. It could easily start another round of sectarian bloodletting, and at the least it will bring Lebanon closer to the boiling point than it already is.
Nasrallah desperately needs to minimize the potential damage as much as he can in advance. Blaming the Jews often works in this part of the world, but this time it might not. His timing could not be worse. It wouldn't have worked had he tried it five years ago, and that he's trying it now only makes him look guilty.
Bibi May Have Gotten More than He Bargained for with UN Panel
When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu assented last week to Israeli participation in a United Nations panel investigating the May 31 Gaza flotilla incident, he said that his country had "nothing to hide" and that he had been assured that the group would only review the results of previous investigations — including Israel's — and that it would not conduct its own inquiry. But at the same time that Netanyahu spoke as though he had gotten the better of his country's foes at the world body, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon gave a mandate to the panel that was vague enough to also convince Turkey — whose goal at this point is to brand Israel as the criminal in the affair — that the UN effort serves its interests as well.
Unsurprisingly, one week later, it appears as though the Turks had better cause to be pleased by the UN than does Israel. At a news conference yesterday in New York, the AP reports that Ban denied that the UN panel would refrain from calling its own witnesses about the incident, including Israeli army soldiers who had taken part in the seizure of the Turkish ships that sought to break the blockade of Hamas-run Gaza. Israeli officials had previously said that their participation had been conditional on the promise that their soldiers would not be hauled in front of a UN star chamber. In response to Ban's backtracking on that promise, Netanyahu's office issued a statement saying that "Israel will not cooperate with and will not take part in any panel that seeks to interrogate Israeli soldiers."
This was bravely said, but if Netanyahu believes that an Israeli pullout from the panel will not be portrayed as a sign of guilt in the court of international opinion, he's wrong. Having already promised to play along with the UN, it won't matter that Ban or the Obama administration (which is widely assumed to have pushed hard for Israel's participation in the UN inquiry) had made assurances that won't be upheld.
Granted, sticking to its initial inclination to boycott a UN investigation wouldn't have won Israel any popularity points either. The distorted coverage of the incident, in which violent activists were killed and whose goal was to assist the Islamist terrorists who run Gaza in gaining free access to arms and material, makes unlikely any impartial query by the UN. No amount of reporting about the fact that there is no shortage of food or medicine appears capable of correcting the false impression that such a humanitarian crisis exists or that those killed were innocent human-rights advocates.
But to pull out of a UN investigation after initially agreeing to participate looks and feels a lot worse than a principled refusal to have anything to do with a body whose record on human rights had consistently proved biased against Israel. Indeed, the most surprising thing about any of this is how a man with as much experience in dealing with the UN as Netanyahu could possibly be surprised by Ban's reneging on private promises made to Israel. The result is another propaganda win for Turkey, whose own role in fomenting this crisis and then resolutely refusing to defuse it before any shots had to be fired was detailed in Netanyahu's own testimony before an Israeli panel investigating the incident.
UN Still Corrupt
Those infatuated with multilateral institutions — which are lauded as occupying the high moral ground (as opposed to all those grubby democracies) — are continually embarrassed (well, they should be embarrassed) when these bodies prove to be entirely corrupt and dysfunctional. This report explains:
The outgoing chief of a U.N. office charged with combating corruption at the United Nations has issued a stinging rebuke of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, charging him with undermining her efforts and leading the global institution into an era of decline, according to a confidential end-of-assignment report. …
"Your actions are not only deplorable, but seriously reprehensible. … Your action is without precedent and in my opinion seriously embarrassing for yourself," Ahlenius wrote in the 50-page memo to Ban, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Post. "I regret to say that the secretariat now is in a process of decay."
Well, it seems the UN has improved not at all from the oil-for-food scandal days.
It remains a mystery why Obama has bestowed upon the UN new respect and importance in his foreign policy schemes. What exactly is it about this body — corrupt, filled with haters of Israel and the West, incapable of enforcing its endless resolutions against rogue states — that captures Obama's fancy? In grasping for consensus and turning a blind eye to the UN's bad behavior, Obama has diminished his and our moral authority.
It seems that now is precisely the time to diminish the UN's importance and make clear the limits of our patience with a body that does far more harm than good.
UN Still Pondering Flotilla Inquiry
The UN secretary-general and the UN Human Rights Council are tussling over whether the General Assembly or the council will conduct the kangaroo court to examine Israel's conduct in the flotilla probe. This debate should have been short-circuited long ago by the U.S., with a unequivocal statement that it would block any such effort. (The Human Rights Council, of course, has been emboldened ever since Obama decided to rejoin that band of thugocracies.) While the U.S. cannot veto a General Assembly action, the U.S. could refuse to fund it, make its adamant opposition clear, and then leave the HRC.
The Obama administration, in its never-ending quest to ingratiate itself with international bodies in which Israel's enemies exercise influence disproportionate to their standing in the world and whose own human rights records are atrocious, may be forced to end its straddling. Will it defend Israel or cave in to the wolves seeking a reprise of the Goldstone Report?
After opening the door to an international inquiry, the Obami may now be hard pressed to slam it shut. The president can assure us all he wants that the bond between Israel and the U.S. is "unbreakable," but all that really matters is what his administration does when the chips are down. At this point, it is not clear that Obama has the will or the skill to put the international witch hunt to rest.
Shut Up, Ban Ki-Moon Explained
The UN's shameless appeasement of terrorists is a well-worn story, but it's always instructive to take note when it happens. The UN has issued a report on heightened Israel-Lebanon tensions, and it's not surprising who gets blamed. What is surprising is the UN's reasoning: it's Israeli complaints about Hezbollah's illegal weapons smuggling — not the smuggling itself — that is risking war:
"Rhetoric escalated rapidly, creating a perception in the public that a resumption of conflict was imminent," the secretary-general wrote in the report. …
The UN chief wrote in his report that the heightened tensions were stoked by Israel's claims of Hezbollah's arms acquisitions. He said this "raised the specter of a miscalculation by either party leading to a resumption of hostilities, with potentially devastating consequences for Lebanon and the region." …
Israel's disappointment was compounded by the fact that Ban's report did not mention Hezbollah's involvement in a series of attempts by Lebanese in the south to interfere with UNIFIL's operations over the past month. … In his report, Ban said UNIFIL enjoys "freedom of movement" in all of southern Lebanon. He also cited five unusual incidents in which UNIFIL troops were injured and a UN vehicle was stolen, but he refused to blame Hezbollah.
In other words, the UN secretary-general is saying that if war breaks out — even if Hezbollah starts it — it will not be Hezbollah's fault, even though the group has been illegally importing massive quantities of rockets, and it will not be Syria's and Iran's fault, which have been supplying the weapons. It will be Israel's fault — for talking about it. This would be merely appalling and ridiculous if it weren't so dangerous: with the UN having already assured Hezbollah that future hostilities will be blamed on Israel, war has become more likely.
International Outrage, Please
There are stories in the news right now that in most of their themes are similar to stories that recently set off waves of condemnation and hysteria in much of the world, especially in the delicate global conscience of "the international community."
In the Gaza Strip, many of the residents have been left without electricity because of a fight that shut down the Strip's power plant. Palestinians are suffering, with nothing to relieve the daytime heat and the nighttime darkness — but the world yawns.
In a nearby part of the Middle East, an unprovoked and disproportionate attack against civilians destroyed a building and damaged others. The EU has not called for an investigation, and currently the UN Security Council has not been convened to discuss this act of war. Remarkably, this aggression is not even mentioned on the front pages of British newspapers, which normally cover attacks on civilians in this region with great attentiveness.
Also in the Middle East, a repressive regime is razing the homes of a persecuted minority. According to reports, 90 percent of the buildings owned by this minority group have been destroyed in these acts of discrimination and ethnic cleansing. Surprisingly, the UN secretary-general and the Obama administration — which have both publicly and repeatedly criticized Israel for legally demolishing buildings that were constructed in violation of zoning laws — have said nothing about this grave offense.
Elsewhere, it has been discovered that a major figure in a spy ring that has just been broken up had been using a forged British passport for her travels — and we all know what happens when someone is accused of using a forged British passport: two weeks of utter pandemonium in the British media; journalists, politicians, and concerned citizens become profoundly shocked and appalled; the foreign secretary promises investigation, punishment, and diplomatic fallout; the intelligence relationship with the offending country is downgraded; and so on.
But today the denunciations are absent, the criticism muted, the calls for investigation nonexistent, and the world's attention fixed firmly on other issues. Why could this be?
Obama Can't Decide Whether to Stand with Israel
Josh Rogin reports: "The Obama administration is still not saying what it will do if and when the U.N. calls for another international investigation into the Gaza flotilla incident." You see, Obama is supportive of the Israeli investigation; he just won't say whether he'll defend Israel's right to conduct its own investigation and rebuff UN attempts to set up an international kangaroo court. Rogin tells us:
The uncertainty is whether the Obama administration is willing to actively oppose a new investigation. This uncertainty is compounded by the mixed messages coming from senior officials like Jones, as well as the Obama team's apparent unwillingness to brush Secretary-General Ban off the plate.
This lack of resolve and maddening squishiness should no longer shock us. While other American presidents would leave no "uncertainty" and would make clear that the U.S. would not countenance such an action from the UN, this president is different (to use Michal Oren's description). His attitude toward the U.S.-Israel relationship is unlike his predecessor's. For Obama, the highest foreign-policy priorities are getting along with the "international community," accommodating our foes (i.e., "engagement"), and reorienting the U.S. toward the "Muslim World." If those aims come in conflict with Israel's security needs (which they inevitably do) and its efforts to hold back the assaults on the Jewish state's legitimacy, Israel may well have to fend for itself.
Unfortunately, the uncertainty in and of itself is harmful both to Israel's security and America's international standing. Most immediately, the hemming and hawing demonstrates less than "rock-solid" (Hillary's description) support for the Jewish state, serving as another sign of daylight between this administration and the Israeli government. This will only encourage more attacks on Israel (diplomatic or otherwise). As for our own standing, once again, we display what a fickle and unreliable ally we are. Uncertainty is not what allies expect — or what keeps foes at bay.
Perhaps if American Jewry demonstrated the same "uncertainty" about its support for Obama, the administration might feel compelled to straddle less and defend our ally more. Jewish leaders of mainstream groups should be concerned. If Obama has this much difficulty deciding whether to fend off an UN investigation, what will he do when there is another terrorist propaganda stunt? Or when Israel is compelled to attack Iran? It's not enough for Obama to drop his outward hostity toward Israel. What is required is what Jewish groups expect of every American president — that he stand with Israel unambiguously against efforts to weaken and defame the Jewish state.
Commending him for straddling sends precisely the wrong message to this president. And while we're talking about straddlers, it's time for Jewish groups, whose membership is overwhelmingly Democratic, to decide whether at this point in history it is more important to run interference for Obama or to challenge him to live up to his pro-Israel campaign rhetoric.
What Comes from Equivocation
The Obama administration has pointedly refused to rule out a UN inquest into the flotilla incident. Jewish groups have been giving him a pass in public as they hand wring in private. Now we learn:
A spokesman for United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today that the secretary-general remains "hopeful" that the body will approve a new international inquiry into the Gaza flotilla incident — on top of Israel's own domestic investigation — after it found overwhelming support in a closed Security Council meeting Tuesday.
"We are continuing to talk with all parties about an international inquiry, and we remain hopeful that Israel will accept that," a spokesman for the Secretary-General, Farhan Haq, said.
A diplomat with one Security Council member said that 14 of 15 nations had expressed support today for some form of panel established by the Secretary-General — rather than by a Security Council vote, which the U.S. could block — to investigate the deaths on a Turkish ship bound for Gaza. The U.S. was the sole nation not to support the measure in the closed session, the source said.
This is what flows from playing footsie with the Israel-haters and not making clear that the U.S. will block all measures to unleash the UN on Israel. The administration insults our intelligence by declaring, "As we always do, we will work hard to make sure that Israel is not treated unfairly at the U.N." As we always do? Like when we sat idly by as the UN Human Rights Council bashed Israel? Like when Obama signed on to a statement setting up Israel, but not Turkey, for international scrutiny?
Now imagine if at the time of the UN statement, every pro-Israel member of Congress of both parties and the major Jewish groups had strongly and publicly rebuked the administration. Do we think we'd be sitting on the verge of "Goldstone: The Sequel"? Instead, once again, we have signaled to Israel's enemies that the U.S. values agreement with the "international community" more than our relationship with the Jewish state. The price for silence by weak-kneed supporters of Israel will be borne by Israelis and those who are likewise left to the mercy of the world's bullies, who know Obama is not about to stop them.

Terrible! Pulled in and couldn't find anyone. Phone call only connected to answering machine. Drove into the site area and asked a man in one of the other four rigs if there was a host or employee around. He stated that a young kid just escorted him to a site less than five minutes prior. We walked back to the house/office and were finally successful in getting the kid to come out and take our money. We were especially excited about the 40 dimes we received as change! The grassy sites very unlevel. Water pressure low. Electrical boxes in bad shape. Sewer "broken" in the site we were offered. Trash was strewn all around and it appeared someone had recently used our site as a burn pit. We thought that it would at least be a quiet, country experience, but no...trains and traffic noise was significant. $11 was PA rate and still about $6 overpriced. If you're considering stopping...don't! - Full-Time Roamers
Don't bother going to this campground. It is terrible. When we arrived, there was nobody around and we just wandered about and waited. Tried telephoning them but only got voice mail. Eventually a young boy arrived having just got off the school bus! He told us to just go anywhere. Well to cut a long story short we didn't bother staying. The sites were disgusting, over grown and very uneven. We could not get anywhere near level and I was getting attacked by bugs. After several attempts to get level we decided to leave. There is no bath house and no laundry. Overall this is the worst site I have ever been on. - YTTAB
The signs are still posted along the freeway, but the owner does not seem to care whether he gets any business. When I called about site availability, he answered the phone with "Yeah?". On arrival, there was no office and he came out and took our cash as I was ready to drive away. Sites are very uneven, and poorly marked. Pull-throughs require navigating through a muddy, open field. There were a few sites with nice, level concrete pads, but they were sticking up 8 inches above the ground and had no way to get an RV on them. We won't go back. - glsurratt

Comment: Combination (Score 1) 659
How about a combination? I can fully imagine that for a large part of the population (or for that matter area) an electric car would be absolutely great...... if you are close to the grid. When it comes to storing energy then maybe a pressurised canister of hydrogen will do the trick better if your not close to the grid or have no time to charge for a few hours. I can even imagine that we will see some kind of hybrid a.k.a. hydrogen storage/fuel cell for the "rapid deploy" and then a battery combined with it which can also be charged from the grid. Drive train and technology stays the same, it is only the energy generation (Fuelcell with hydrogen storage or Battery) which changes

Who are You Rooting For? Transnationalism, the World Cup, and WarRobert S. ChangSeattle University School of Law PEDAGOGIES OF THE GLOBAL: KNOWLEDGE IN THE HUMAN INTEREST, Arif Dirlik, ed., Paradigm Press, 2006 Loyola-LA Legal Studies Paper No. 2006-10 Abstract: This chapter begins with the transnational subject and the question of identity, then shifts to the U.S. project of domestic racialization, especially as experienced by marginal subjects during wartime as they try to find a place, a rootedness that is both here and there, from which to remember and to engage in critique. War, perhaps more than anything else, forces a nation's subjects to re-negotiate their relationship to the nation. When the United States engages in war, it also engages in a process of deepening the Americanization of its subjects. It does this by calling upon its subjects to band together collectively to do their patriotic duty against a common enemy. By performing patriotic gestures, its subjects feel a comradeship that consolidates this imagined community that is America. Benedict Anderson writes that it is this feeling of comradeship that has made millions of people willingly die for their nation. When the United States engages in war, its marginal citizens and subjects often find themselves in an awkward position. When you are the victims of state-sponsored neglect, discrimination, and terror, how do you respond when that very state calls upon you to do your duty? This chapter takes up this question and examines the way that the state continues the project of domestic racialization simultaneously with its outwardly directed war efforts. The chapter focuses on iconic images of war, such as the flag-raising at Iwo Jima, that help to construct an inclusive national allegory of Americanness despite the contradiction presented by the internment of Japanese Americans. It then shifts to examine the controversy over a proposed monument to the fallen firefighters at the World Trade Center Towers. It examines popular culture, history, and law to reveal the ways in which symbolic inclusion and exclusion are underwritten by law.
